4 Reasons Why I Prefer Watching Movies To TV Shows

One reason is that TV shows are too long. Some TV shows have a lot of episodes and seasons. Later on, I am going to wish that the TV show ended as soon as possible.

People watch movies and TV shows. Which one is better? I prefer movies to TV shows.

Why I do prefer movies? One reason is that TV shows are too long. Some TV shows have a lot of episodes and seasons. Later on, I am going to wish that the TV show will end as soon as possible. I mostly finish short TV shows. The short ones range from twelve to twenty-five episodes. A movie can range from one to three hours. Some movies are series. At least they are not long like TV shows. That is good for me because the movie will wrap up after one to three hours. TV shows, on other hand, do not end in one episode. I have to keep watching until the last episode. However, the last episode might be episode one thousand or one million.

Peter K. Levy

Love is a word thrown around so much we start to believe it can soar. All too often, love falls flat against our best efforts and intentions. The feeling is both abstract and concrete, sometimes strange. Depending on how you look at love, the experience can leave you bitter or better than you were before. But to make and keep true love, do these X honest things.

Dear you,

I know the feeling. The feeling of a full stomach that makes you feel simultaneously content, but also grossly uncomfortable. The idea that is stuck in your head that states that the past day of eating has probably made the number on the scale go up significantly. The piercing, tugging voice in your head mandating that to feel better, you must go to the gym and push yourself through a grueling workout. I know that no matter how hard you try to push these thoughts and feelings away, they come back even stronger.

10 Facts All Kentuckians Can Relate To When It Comes To Bipolar Weather

@universityofky

As someone who has grown up in Kentucky all of my life, I know all too well how messed up our weather can get. No matter how long you live here, the weather changes will ALWAYS confuse you. While the high-temperature count is probably because of global warming, part of you will always blame it on Kentucky. From summer temperatures in January to snow on Derby to all the seasons in a single day, you can never count on the weatherman to be right here in the bluegrass state. If you've lived here for quite some time, you'll know that all of these facts are true when it comes to our Kentucky weather.

Consistency Is The Most Important Trait You Can Possibly Have

Consistency Is The Most Important Trait You Can Possibly Have

Abby Davis

Maybe it's the most important trait in a leader, athlete, friend—the list goes on and on—because it's probably the hardest to achieve. Consistency, no matter the subject, is active. Participative. Engaged, invested, ride or die. Okay, maybe not necessarily always the latter, but you get the point.

I can't speak on this without the disclaimer that I am often inconsistent in striving for consistency. I don't think it's a quality that is inherently instinctual—I'm still learning what it looks like in the places it's needed in my life. In short, that's everywhere.

You Are So Loved, Darling, Never Forget It

Through all of the good and all of the bad, loving you has stayed consistent.

You may not understand quite yet, but people have an unfathomable amount of love for you.

I acknowledge how often you sit there questioning whether or not your presence is noticed. I acknowledge how often you are analyzing the little things. The little things that you, for better or for worse, turn into big things, when their importance is probably less than minimal.

1. Flirt with caution.

2. Talk and walk.

3. Small gestures, heavy-lifting.

4. Detox, delete, debunk.

5. Cut to the chase, but don't run.

Say it with me: it's okay to not go to the gym today.

1. Check in with your intentions.

2. Is there something else more beneficial and emotionally healthy that you can be doing?

3. Find what you enjoy.

Some of y'all have never experienced all the seasons in one single day and it shows.

1. You'll be freezing cold in the morning, but will be sweating bullets by 3 p.m.

2. You can never plan for the weather days in advance

3. Snow in May is honestly always a possibility

4. The humidity is ALWAYS too much

5. Snowing one day and 70 degrees the next? Sounds about right!

6. Your sinuses will forever and always be messed up

7. Your skin can't figure out if it should be super dry or not

8. When it rains, it pours...all day long

9. And sometimes, it just totally disregards the weatherman entirely

10. Consistent weather patterns in other states always throw you for a loop

It's key.

Through all of the good and all of the bad, loving you has stayed consistent.

You need to give yourself some credit.
